Tall Ships Aberdeen 2025
Elizabeth got to perform as part of SC&T (Scottish Culture & Traditions) in The Tall Ships Races 2025 in Aberdeen this morning. She gets lots of opportunities to perform with SC&T and they’re always excellent. Today was no exception. The sound and projection from the stage was particularly good. The only downside was it started…

Dinner tonight
Mum made tabbouleh several times when she was visiting and it was a huge hit with everyone, especially the kids. So I decided I’d start making it regularly too. Dinner tonight was tabbouleh with roast vegetables and peas. I love roasted vegetables and they go well with tabbouleh. There are 13 different species of plants…

A vegan menu
We had a superb meal at the restaurant in Dunblane last night. We ate at The Kailyard and their vegetarian menu is one of the best I’ve seen and tasted. I had the mushroom and cashew wellington which was delicious. For dessert, I had the chocolate and orange tart which was also superb. We went…

Gull dinner party
I baked another dud sourdough loaf which I threw onto the back lawn. A colony of gulls swooped in and demolished it all in less than a minute. Before the gulls arrived some local birds had a go. I got this one brave bird feasting right in front of Victoria our cat. I’m not sure…

Appreciating weather

Sometimes it’s rainy, sometimes sunny, sometimes dark and gloomy, sometimes sparkly white with snow, sometimes frosty, sometimes clear blue skies, sometimes a mix…

Beards
Last night I found myself seated at a table with five bearded men. There’s assigned seating each night in a different restaurant here so I sit with different people for each meal. It has been really fun and how lucky was I to be the only woman at a table with five bearded men. The topic of…

The Terminator
He’s known in the school playground as the Terminator and here he is in my bakfiets. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Road works and Daniel's party
Street Maintenance Auckland Transport has spent the last week ripping up the footpaths and kerbs on our street and replacing them with new footpaths and kerbs. I can’t think why they’re doing this as the footpaths and kerbs looked fine to me before. What I find even more frustrating is the absence of a cycle…
